This must be causing

a lot of sleepless nights down at 'Mal-Wart Central'...

Wal-Mart workers unionized at third store in Quebec

"Employees in Gatineau follow lead of those in Jonquiere and Ste-Hyacinthe"
And that's a good thing.

If Mal-Wart gets unionized, it's a plus. If they shut down the stores that succeed in their union drive, that's a plus for small business and manufacturers who aren't running sweatshops in China. A plus no matter what happens. (Unless, of course, they're unionized by CUPE, in which case it could turn into a big loss. I just keep hoping it stays the UFCW...)
